I get metrics returned by youtubeanalytics.report.query for ~90 videos but when I try to use the video id with youtube.videos.list api, I don't get a hit on all of them. Anyone know why?

Can you give an example of some of the video IDs you got that didn't return a result when you called youtube.videos.list? – not_a_bot Oct 24 '15 at 00:20

interestingly, when I use the API explorer, they both come back with data, but in my python app where I use both youtube_analytics.report.query and youtube.video.list, only the report.query returns data. – user5420430 Oct 27 '15 at 19:03

Make sure that you're using the latest version of the Python client library and double check that you have the Youtube Data API enabled. – not_a_bot Oct 27 '15 at 21:00

I updated Python client libraries, and yes the Youtube Data API is enabled. When I re-ran the test, the 2 aforementioned video_ids got data from both API's but there are still others that did not, seems like "random" occurrences. – user5420430 Oct 28 '15 at 19:54

Turns out the request was "failing silently", after I implemented error handling I was able to see the failure, my fix was to pause the app slightly and re-try, seems to have done the trick, I no longer experience the issue.
